Emily Windsnap dan Rahasia Putri Duyung karya Liz Kessler ini adalah salah satu buku favoritku banget waktu aku masih kecil 🥹🧜🏻‍♀️🐚🌊

Sungguh menakjubkan bagaimana Emily Windsnap dan Rahasia Putri Duyung dapat langsung membawa Anda kembali ke masa kanak-kanak.

Jujur saja, Emily Windsnap dan Rahasia Putri Duyung karya Liz Kessler membantuku menjadi kuat menghadapi perundungan, dengan dunia magisnya(ulasan 'pertama')Bacaan ulang kedelapan:Masih dengan perasaan hangat, damai, dan aman yang sama kuatnyaIni sangat berarti bagiku sampai aku tidak bisa menggambarkannyaBuku ini memberiku kekuatan untuk mencintai diriku sendiri, dan tersenyum lagi, serta mengajarkanku untuk berani dan berharap yang terbaik.Dan ya, aku tahu ini bukan ulasan yang pantasJadi, aku...

Ide ceritanya menarik – seorang gadis kelas tujuh mengetahui dirinya adalah putri duyung saat kakinya berubah menjadi ekor pertama kali dia menyelam di air untuk pelajaran renang. Namun, penulisan *Emily Windsnap dan Rahasia Putri Duyung* karya Liz Kessler ini sendiri lemah (kecuali kalau kamu suka buku dengan obrolan gadis yang manipulatif, 'kamu bukan temanku kalau tidak melakukan ini'). Pidato yang disampaikan Emily kepada Neptunus, dewa laut, di akhir cerita seharusnya menjadi pembelaan yan...

edit: I’m gonna keep this at the 4-star rating since that’s how I felt while reading when I was twelve, but I did research on this, and yes, there is a character in this series who, throughout, has a palm reading business, does hypnosis, and uses tarot cards. I was unaware of what those things were when I was little, so I can’t recommend this series to little girls because of that.______________✨All the stars!✨Emily Windsnap is amazing! I haven't read it in a while, but felt like rewriting my re...

One of my younger sisters and I discovered this book at the thrift store a few weeks ago, and the gorgeous cover and quirky title intrigued us both. I decided to give it a try. ;)Since my thoughts on this book are pretty 50/50, I’ll start with what I disliked so we can end on a positive note. ;)Things I Disliked1. This is a mermaid book, so Neptune (a.k.a. Poseidon) was inevitable. He was accurately unpredictable like all characters in mythology are, and it was flippantly mentioned that he had m...

Read this book to my 7 year old daughter. Had been really looking forward to reading it, & ordered it from the library, as there are follow up novels to this which we were hoping to enjoy too. I am giving this book allowances for the fact that it is a children's book, and as such is geared towards and written for a young, unsophisticated audience.It was bad, bad, bad. I was absolutely bored to tears with the dreary, thoroughly unlikeable, two dimensional characters, and the erratic and moron...

You know that book you read as child and randomly find at the library and think "can it possibly be as good as I remember?" Sometimes the answer is an unequivocal yes (see: anything by Beverly Clearly), other times a disheartening no (see: the Mandie series). Sometimes they're so bad you're a bit embarrassed to admit you read and loved them in the first place. The Tail of Emily Windsnap falls squarely in the latter category with the sad addition (in my case) of no residual adoration since I neve...

A fascinating book about a girl who discovers herself is a mermaid, and she explores the secrets of her life.

Very, very cute book about a girl who, at the age of twelve, has never been fully immersed in water. Although she lives on a house boat, her mother is deathly afraid of water so Emily's never been swimming. The boat is so small there's no room for a bathtub. When she finally takes swimming lessons in school, low and behold she discovers she's a mermaid. Well, sort of...she's got legs when she's out of water, and a tail when she's immersed in water.Emily is especially endearing because she's alwa...
